It would surprise me if free wifi hotspots (especially libraries) allowed downloading movies.
Some libraries have good professional Information Technicians and the budget to put in a system that can do the job right and even block some URL's (None of which I'll ever type) completely.
Others barely know how to open the box and plug in a router.
In fact.. One campground I frequent, this has changed since (thanks to me telling the manager about it) but many people were having problems logging in,, I'd set them up with a manual IP address and directions on setting it back to automatic later and no problem.
Finally I decided to check things out.. Turns out LINKSYS on their home/small office routers defauolt is 50 DHCP clients.. I changed it to 100 (yes the default password logged me in) and it worked much better,,, less folks needed manual set up
Of course one woman I had to log in manually ask what the problem was
When they first set it up it was nearly all laptops but now it's laptops game machines, PDAs. Cell phones.. I logged in downloaded the DHCP client list which included SUZIE's I PHONE.
yup. she was Suzie.
After a new manager took over and I tole him about it... I logged him into the NEW PASSWORD page.. then left the office while he changed the admin password.
